By the way, I should add to the above (in the interest of fairness) that the vast majority of so-called "liberals" will not hire the homeless guy either...because they are just as scared of him as the conservatives are.
The liberals and the conservatives will BOTH hire someone they feel comfortable being around...and that is not the homeless guy. No siree.
Those are the hard facts, and they are facts that the little girl in the story was not made aware of. She probably has not taken on most of the prejudices and fears of her elders....yet.
